Hello, I was wondering about how to root my tablet, it is a 10.1" onn surf walmart tablet, I wanted to root it, but all the guides I could find are either outdated, or the wrong model (or both!) and I’m kinda at my wits end.I have OEM unlocking and usb debugging, so i can root it i believe.

I wonder if there is any software or app that can dump the ROM file? because I can’t seem to find any archive of the model, and like i said, the ones people talk about are the wrong type and i don’t wanna risk breaking anything.

thank you.

    to be honest, i’m not sure, just because i can doesn’t mean that I should. I suppose I just wanted to be able to remove bloat and get a add blocker.

      If you want to remove bloat, you can use this software. It doesn’t require root. Just be careful to not disable important system apps otherwise you can make your tablet unusable and will have to find a way to go to recovery and factory reset.

      I used it on a friend’s cheap Chinese phone and it removed a lot of stuff. The phone was much better after that, but of course, be extra careful to not remove important stuff.

      Good luck!

        oh i see. I am slightly tech inclined, but im just not phone smart if that makes sense. I always make sure to install ublock on my firefox’s (mobile, pc). and what should I use to remove the stock apps?. and while my browser is ad-free, I was wondering if i could block in-app ads? and thank you for informing me about everything!.
